Off Road Tours

Our wide range of off-road cycle tour packages offer you the unique opportunity to experience the breathtaking scenery of our beautiful countryside at a pace that allows you to saver every moment.  Try exploring some challenging trails over our magnificent mountain ranges on a Mountain Trail, or splash through the ice cold riverbeds in the lush green valley bushveld on your way to another scenic picnic lunch on one of our Rambling Nature Tours.  Alternatively you could ride alongside a herd of wild buck through a game reserve on a Bush Safari Tour, or soak up the wonderful sights, sounds and scents of our pristine coastlines on one of our fun-in-the-sun Beach Tour packages.

Our fully supported tours are led by experienced tour guides who will show you the way, point out interesting sights and help you along if you should need assistance.  They are also experienced bike mechanics and will assist should you have any unfortunate mechanical breakdown.  Our back-up vehicles will transport your luggage and even you, should you wish to relax a bit more without missing the stunning scenery, or have the misfortune of running into some bad weather.  On sections of the trail inaccessible by motor vehicles you will be supported by quad bikes or motor bikes, thereby ensuring your safety throughout the tour.

For those adventurous souls who wish to go-it-alone or ride with a friend, we have a range of Self-guided Tours where we will arrange your accommodation, transport your luggage to each stopover point and provide you with route maps with GPS co-ordinates for your trail as well as brochures relating to places of interest along the way.

Whether you are a regular cyclist or just a fair weather rider, we have just the tour for you.  Our tour packages are designed to cater for all ages and levels of cycling.  If you can’t find one that suits you, give us a call and we will custom design one just for you and your friends.

Off Road Tours - Grading

For your convenience, all of our tours are graded on their level of difficulty.  To ensure you have a comfortable ride and an enjoyable experience, we provide a guideline of the level of fitness required, type of terrain encountered and the daily distances covered.

Easy
These are leisurely paced tours involving easy cycling over fairly flat terrain. Our routes travel over gravel roads, jeep tracks and well defined paths with only minor hills along the way. There are also many beach rides in this category where you ride along the waterline at low tide. They are perfect for families with young children and people with little or no cycling experience. The average daily distances are an easy paced 25 – 35km (15 – 20 miles).
Energetic
These tours are for people who have a reasonable level of fitness and have some experience of off-road riding. The terrain becomes a little more challenging with rolling hills and tougher trail surfaces to traverse, but without any very steep climbs or descents. The average daily distances are still a very manageable 35 – 50km (20 – 30 miles).
Adventurous
These tours are for the more experienced recreational cyclist who rides on a regular basis. The terrain becomes a lot more mountainous and includes more technical trail-riding sections. The pace is usually also a lot more challenging and the average daily distances begin to stretch out to a testing 40 – 65km (25 – 40 miles).
Insane
These tours should only be undertaken by very fit and experienced cyclists and those people looking for the ultimate off-road cycling challenge. The terrain includes some of the toughest and most technical routes in remote parts of Southern Africa. Climbing major mountain passes and navigating through wild uncharted bush trails over vast distances are the order of the day. The average daily distances increase dramatically to a challenging 65 – 100+ km (40 – 60+ miles).
